lyrics

The rivers are thin, white lines
Raised from the skin of the countryside.
They all meet at the dock.
The sailors are shipping off
Towards the sky.
She waves goodbye.

She's got the usual scars,
Plus a few I've never seen before.

And if you get lonely, dear,
Know she's as beautiful far or near.
She is breathing a sigh
Of relief because we all die.
The greenery grows
On the deaths of friends and foes.

She's got the usual scars,
Plus a few I've never seen before.
And she is cut up like lace.
Why? We'll never know for sure.

She kissed all of my scars
And she said that
"You have cut up your arms,
But you cannot force
Damage to secede.
Sometimes, we all go out to sea."

I've got all the usual scars,
Plus a few she's never seen before.
